I'm always confused by why spaces do not usually count for anything and are optional. If you are pressing the spacebar, does that not count as a key? How does the computer know to ignore spaces?
Can a program every return truly random values without using the same one sequence to generate them over and over, even if the sequence of numbers has no easily recognized patterns? Is this sequence to generate random numbers used universally or are there multiple sequences various programs use? Are some sequences deemed better at generating truly random numbers than others?
Some food-questions for thought:
